Blast From the Past Blog Hop #8 from Taylored Expressions

HI Everyone,

Every month, Taylored Expressions hosts a customer and fan blog hop where we feature all of the wonderful previously released stamp sets from Taylored Expressions. This month the theme was to GO GREEN! Well, I love green - it is one of my most favorite colors and I was all set to make a Lucky CHarms card, but then I saw one of my favorite sets lying out: Hangin' Out - and so I switched gears and couldn't wait to play with this set! I used the sketch that is optional for this blog hop and got my "green" on!

What was funny - is that I started to make my card, forgot about the sketch and then remembered at the last moment before putting it together - phew! :) I love this dress stamp that is in this stamp set and paper pieced this dress with one of the DP's from the Feb. Key Ingredients kit. I also used one of the new dies: Clouds Duo from Taylored Expressions to create the clouds and finished them off with some liquid pearls and finished the whole thing off with a little white gel pen.

I added some rolling hills and then added a little glaze and finished them off with some dotted liquid pearls. The top right corner was corner chomped (1/2") and I added the sweet sentiment: "Let's Hang Out" at the bottom. I love this stamp set and loved playing with the greens and black combo:

I can't wait to surf around and see all the stamp sets that everyone is using for this blog hop! Please check out the amazing creations! THere is also one PRIZE for one lucky hopper who will receive a FREE Taylored Expressions Stamp set of their choice and Taylor will also be choosing another creation that will be featured in the TE Newsletter!!!
